Dear Fr. Julio,
Nine months ago, on this date, we left San
Francisco to visit New Mexico. We came to see the Luminarias in
Albuquerque. We saw you and Fr. Roca on Christmas Day. Those
were better days. I spoke to you about our fertility issue and
our fertility appointment of February 16. I explained to you
how frustrated we were with our inability to conceive. You
simply mentioned to me to think about it and that there must be
a reason why. Well, February 16 came and we still did not
conceive and we were off to the fertility doctor. It was then
we found the reason which you spoke of on Christmas Day.
Through blood tests for fertility, it was discovered that
Jessica has thyroid cancer. She had no pain or discomfort and
was completely unaware of any illness. On September 28, at 10
AM, she will be going for surgery. After what you told
me, I think a miracle has ocurred, once again, at Chimayo!
Thank you for your inspiration. Could you please keep us in
your prayers. And also pray for our return to Chimayo soon.
Chimayo is my favorite place in all of the places I have ever
been to. Hope to see you and Fr. Roca at Chimayo again very
soon.
